Considering the idea that a "place of memory in every sense of the word is going to be the most tangible and concrete, possibly geographically located at the object more abstract and intellectually constructed "1, I propose to focus specifically on certain areas of memory carriers serve as important cultural landmarks. I want to understand how well the memory of a place influence our identity. To get there, I put in perspective shared experiences and transposes experience of works Art questioning the different variants of memory: collective, individual, short and long term, auditory, visual, olfactory, tactile, and the alteration thereof. It is from this assumption that Pierre Nora I examine our relationship to different places of memory while stressing the presence of a cultural heritage that helped shape our identity.
My artistic interventions are realized via the multimedia installation, audio recording through photography and performance. These materials seem to be the most consistent and mediums effective for the realization of my projects. The memory can indeed be extended by various methods such as photography, audio recording and video, which keep track of. To achieve my goals, I recontextualizes photographs and audio tracks by offering new experiences. That these materials are original or taken from the archives of all kinds, they become a metaphor for memory. Often, the location and light are used as material and take a leading role in the work.
